Fun was had by all on Bedford’s riverside – including the children and dogs. Not sure what the rowers taking part in the river races thought though!
Lots of interest in what we were doing, it made many people smile and everyone we talked to was very positive about the event.
So people of Bedfordshire why not revive some neglected skills and reveal your inner creativity?
This project was organised by BedYarn
| Bedford Creative Arts’ current mini commission, won by Liz Wright, is BedYarn.
We will be reclaiming our public monuments and places, personalising and decorating them with your handmade knitted creations.Liz is a founder member of the Scone Roses a local craft group which meets monthly. She is inviting men, women and children to make new connections with the town and each other via the traditional skill of knitting. Look out for us on World Yarn Bombing Day, Saturday 8th June. |
Learn to knit with us!
We will be holding 4 free knitting workshops with wool and needles provided. The results of these workshops will be used to yarn bomb Bedford. The workshops will take place at Fancy, Roff Ave. Contact us to find out times and book your place. |
I joined in a trial yarn bombing session at 123 Create on Thursday 11th April.
